Suicide prevention coverage helpful
Thank you so much to Elizabeth Horton for taking the time to research this topic and to write the article on suicide prevention. The article is so timely, so needed and so helpful!
So many people are suffering from depression and anxiety right now and this article will be a great resource and springboard for conversation with parents and their children and hopefully amongst friends and families in general. Adolescent depression and anxiety are struggles that are near and dear to my heart as a pediatrician and conditions I face on nearly a daily basis when I am at work. But God is so good!
Your article highlights the vast and varied resources that are available to those in need. One of the most important components to recovery is communication, speaking to others about our struggles. Thank you, thank you for highlighting this most important topic/crisis facing our teens and our world today.
